Chapter 622 Black Bear's Growth Process
"Yes, one is from the Wu family of the Nine Gates, and the other is a tomb raider. Since we are dealing with ancient tombs, we naturally need professionals. It's not that I look down on those archaeologists, but that everyone has their own expertise."

Domestic archaeological work has only been around for a few decades, while tomb raiders have existed for thousands of years. Their expertise in geomancy alone far surpasses that of official archaeology.

Gao Dongxu noticed Director Luo's frown and guessed that Director Luo might look down on or even reject the idea of ​​recruiting tomb raiders, so he smiled and said.

"Indeed, I've seen some tomb raiding holes, and I must say, they're incredibly skillful, dug directly above the tomb owner's coffin..." Director Luo had to admit this.

Gao Dongxu nodded and continued, "A pit in the ground will disappear without a trace over time. To find it, you have to rely on observing the aura to identify the location."

Tomb raiders understand feng shui, terrain, and even the psychology of emperors better than archaeological experts. They know where the dragon vein ends and where yin and yang meet. Following the path of the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, they dig down and—snap, a lump of green clay appears. There it is.

To give an analogy, it's like a doctor just picking up a scalpel to make an incision, but the other person has already removed the organ and left a note saying, "Good medical skills, come earlier next time."

To put it bluntly, the things that tomb raiders aren't interested in and are too lazy to dig up are the things that archaeological experts are taking their time to examine today.

Of course, I'm not saying archaeologists are useless. On the contrary, their mission isn't to "make money," but to "save lives." Save whom? Save history that has been hollowed out, save civilizations that can still be pieced together from fragments.

Listening to Gao Dongxu's words, Director Luo couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. To be honest, the crackdown on tomb raiding in recent years has had some effect, but it has not stopped tomb raiders from taking risks and going one after another.

With the rise of the nationwide craze for collecting, tomb raiders have become even more rampant, and there is simply no way to stop the increasingly rampant tomb raiding crimes.

"The reason I recruited two expert tomb raiders was to search for extraordinary creatures and monsters in some ancient tombs, and at the same time, to fight thieves with thieves."

To deal with tomb raiders, one must never underestimate them. Only by truly understanding the tomb raiding industry can one realize that they are not ordinary people; they are underground players from another era. They are unseen adversaries in history, ruthless figures racing against time.

We, on the other hand, can only stand amidst the ruins of their battlefield, scavenging the remaining traces and desperately patching up their civilization.

"If we want to deal with them and stop following them around like dirt, then we need to join them, become like them, compete with them, and fight with them. Only in this way can we minimize our losses and truly provide protection," Gao Dongxu stated his viewpoint.

Director Luo looked at Gao Dongxu and said with a smile, "Since you have made up your mind, then go for it."

"Don't worry, I'll show you the results," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Hehe, the things I brought back this time have really broadened my horizons. I have to say, seeing the ghost soldiers and generals controlled by those filthy marrow worms, I am truly impressed by the wisdom of the ancients and the profound mystery of Chinese civilization," Director Luo said with a smile.

"The world is vast and mysterious. What humans can perceive is only a tiny fraction of the total. The unknown territories constitute the vast majority. In fact, one could say that the world humans have explored is merely the tip of the iceberg of the real world," Gao Dongxu said meaningfully.

Director Luo nodded with a deep look in his eyes, then smiled and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat and talk. Tell me in detail about the process, especially about that humanoid puppet. Tell me everything you know. I think it's very worthwhile to study."

"Mm," Gao Dongxu nodded in response.

. . . . . .

After having dinner with Director Luo, on the way back to Dijingyuan, A Ning looked at Gao Dongxu and said softly, "Are you intentionally hiding all information about Changsheng?"

Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at A Ning's delicate face, her skin as smooth as silk, radiating a natural, healthy glow, every inch of which exuded captivating charm. Her eyes were bright and deep, as if they could see into people's hearts, her gaze containing both tenderness and curiosity.

"Yes, it was intentional. I didn't want to cause trouble for myself and become someone's tool."

Ah Ning frowned slightly and looked at Gao Dongxu with concern, saying, "Have you ever thought that the country has actually already obtained some information about immortality?"

"Hehe, of course I've thought about it, and I'm even sure I know. But so what? If you're so capable, go find it yourself. Don't even think about getting any information about immortality from me. As long as I filter out all content related to immortality from the beginning, no one can cause me any trouble."

"But I just don't know, I've never heard of it, I've never seen it, don't talk nonsense." Gao Dongxu raised his arm, pulled A Ning into his embrace, and smiled with a raised eyebrow. "If you really push me too far, I won't put up with this anymore. I'll take you all abroad, buy a small island, and live a carefree life."

Ah Ning smiled and gave Gao Dongxu, who was starting to misbehave again, a charming glare. She said softly and coquettishly, "Once you've joined, it won't be so easy to leave."

"Haha, don't worry, when have I ever suffered a loss? If that day really comes, who can stop me if I want to leave?" Gao Dongxu buried his face in A Ning's pink neck, kissing her while laughing in a muffled voice.

In the Imperial Capital Garden, Gao Dongxu led the beautiful, rosy-cheeked, and alluring Ah Ning into the villa. In the living room, the two sisters, Ru Xin and Ru Qing, were lazily leaning on the sofa watching TV, while Hei Xiazi sat upright with several silver needles stuck in his face, not daring to move.

"What's going on?" Gao Dongxu looked at Hei Xiazi with amusement, walked over and sat down between the two sisters, Ru Xin and Ru Qing, and asked with his arms outstretched.

"He was so annoying, he kept talking nonstop. I had no choice but to use silver needles to shut him up." Ru Qing glared at Hei Xiazi with annoyance.

"He just obediently let you subdue him? He didn't resist? You two are no match for him," Gao Dongxu chuckled. Ru Qing looked at Gao Dongxu with annoyance and complained, "Knowing that the two of us are no match for him, you still made us stay and watch over him?"

"That's because I know he won't fight with either of you. Alright, take the needles out now," Gao Dongxu said with a smile, patting Ruqing's lower back.

Ruqing let out a soft groan, but immediately got up, walked to Hei Xiazi, and quickly pulled out all the silver needles.

"call--"

Hei Xiazi let out a long sigh, wryly moved his facial muscles, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and complained to Ru Xin and Ru Qing, "I'm not going to run away, so why did you have to resort to sneak attacks and poisoning me?"

"Young Master Gao, could you please get me some food? These two ladies are absolutely heartless. Not only did they ambush me with poisoned weapons, they also refused to give me any food."

"Hehe, don't blame the two of them. You should look at yourself more closely." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, teasing Hei Xiazi who had a wry smile on his face.

"Fine, I guess I'm just unlucky." Hei Xiazi said helplessly and then looked at Gao Dongxu and said, "Young Master Gao, stop beating around the bush and just tell us the way."

“Okay, then I’ll give you a clear path. From now on, you can work for me, and I’ll help you clear your name. You won’t have to carry a warrant for your arrest and hide from the police anymore. How about that?” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Is there a salary? Five social insurances and one housing fund? Is food and accommodation provided?" Hei Xiazi asked without the slightest hesitation.

“Sure, if you want high welfare benefits, I have a government position here. How about I give you one and make you a civil servant?” Gao Dongxu said with a mocking smile to Hei Xiazi.

"Ahem, forget about the official position. I'm used to being free and unrestrained, and I can't stand being tied down. I'd rather work for you, Young Master Gao," Black Bear said with a smirk.

Having lived for so long, Hei Xiazi is most averse to the authorities. He has too many secrets about him and is very worried that his secrets will be discovered by the authorities and that he will be used as a guinea pig for research.

This isn't because he has paranoia; don't forget, he also has a master's degree in anatomy from Germany.

Anyone who has ever been the one to be cut is afraid of becoming the one to be cut.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll give you a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, but that won't cover the five social insurances and one housing fund. As for food and accommodation, you can stay here with Erpang, Fugui, and the others. Any problems?" Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Ten thousand? That's a bit low, but it's enough to get by..." Black Bear laughed.

"What I'm giving you, besides money, is peace of mind. This is something that money can't buy. And you can rest assured that I'm not interested in your secrets. You don't need to be suspicious. I'm not even interested in Zhang Qiling's secrets, let alone yours."

Gao Dongxu looked at the changes in Hei Xiazi's expression and said calmly.

Hei Xiazi's smile vanished, replaced by a serious and solemn expression. He said, "So you knew all along."

"I know far more than you think, so you can work for me with peace of mind. Don't worry about me coveting your little secrets. Rest assured, I will definitely outlive you—"

The reason Gao Dongxu confronted Hei Xiazi to this extent was because he knew better than anyone that if Hei Xiazi wanted to, he could truly disappear, leaving no trace for the world to find.

Moreover, Hei Xiazi is just as mysterious as Xiao Ge. His past is unknown to everyone, not even mentioned in the original work.

Therefore, in Gao Dongxu's eyes, Hei Xiazi is undoubtedly the most mysterious.

"Alright, I'll have to rely on you from now on, Young Master Gao. Hehe, I, the Blind Man, can finally live a peaceful life." Black Bear said with a sly grin.

Gao Dongxu smiled slightly. He knew that he had gained Hei Xiazi's initial trust. His sly and lewd smile was Hei Xiazi's way of showing his happiness.

"Leng Feng, get the blind man some food. If you have time, you can spar with him. The blind man's martial arts skills are second only to Zhang Qiling," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Leng Feng and Erpang both looked at Hei Xiazi at the same time, their eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

"Hehe, Young Master Gao, don't try to trick me. I'm nowhere near as good as Zhang the Mute," Black Bear said with a wry smile.

"No need to be modest. I know your swordsmanship and leg techniques are both excellent. We should spar sometime," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"No way, I'm no match for you. I don't want to get beaten up." Hei Xiazi refused directly. He had seen Gao Dongxu's fight with the Ghost General before. Hei Xiazi, who also possessed internal energy, was very clear about the domineering internal energy that Gao Dongxu displayed. Gao Dongxu's internal energy was far more profound than his.
